Is Mike Daredevil's Brother? Who was the person that Kingpin was punching in the face?
As smart and ruthless as Wilson Fisk may be, he's chosen to enlist the aid of some of the most reprehensible, dangerous and bloodthirsty criminals the Marvel Universe has to offer! He's been able to keep them on a short leash out of fear for weeks.
IN THIS ISSUE - that fear runs out! Fisk's lackeys aren't scared of ANYTHING anymore, even him - and ALL OF NEW YORK is left to pay the price!
RATED T+
Devils Reign #5 shows that this event gets better in every issue. Its a hectic comic, filled with action and dramatic changes. Even with the chaos and the larger than life characters, Zdarsky keeps the dialogue grounded and moments of quiet remain heavy. Read Full Review
Devil's Reign #5 is a great penultimate issue as it brings big splashy superhero moments to the forefront while evil dealings in closed-off rooms take place. There seems to be a statement being made here about superheroes being loud and ineffective while true justice remains unseen where it matters most. Read Full Review
Chip Zdarsky and Marco Checchetto took the ending of the previous issue to make Devil's Reign #5 the most intense chapter of this event thus far. Throughout this comic book you felt the rage that Wilson Fisk was unleashing onto New York and Marvel's superheroes. The ending, while predictable, sets up the final chapter of Devil's Reign to have serious ramifications for the Marvel Universe however the chips may fall at the conclusion of this event.

The story itself continues to be fine, despite Kingpin's motivations changing with each issue. As it stands now, Fisk's motivations will surely be his downfall, and it feels like that's something we've seen one too many times before. Read Full Review
Devil's Reign #5 continues an entertaining event series but it falls into some traps like the expected extended fight. I hoped the series would deliver something a little different and with one more issue it might, but, this is an issue that feels like it's a bit rougher than the others delivering something we've seen before far too many times.

Devil's Reign has mostly avoided the pitfalls of big events to this point. Now it's time to see if Zdarsky and co. can stick the landing. Read Full Review
Devil's Reign #5 shows us how far Fisk is willing to go and changes the tone and direction of this Marvel event. Read Full Review
I kind of read a lot of comics at once and I made little notes for each issue, so I'd know what to write when the time came to waste my time on these reviews. My note for this one was simply, "Zdarsky. 10/10." So, while I'm not sure what I meant, I think it had to do with Zdarsky's ability to weave all these different plot threads from his Daredevil run together in such a fun way.
I'm loving every panel of this story so far.
Can Marco Checchetto draw everything please?
This was another amazing chapter. The story progresses in an interesting and fast way, lots of crazy twists and cliffhangers, lots of action. It’s all so much fun and the way Zdarsky ties it up with his Daredevil run is just the cherry on top.
RIP Mike
Incredible work from Checchetto, with the elegant plot, character, and theme that I expect from Zdarsky DD (and haven't consistently gotten from Devil's Reign)
This issue is what an event should feel and look like, Checchetto's art is captivating. I love that devils reign is a Fisk story above all else, and he really shines here. Focused and brutal. The hero moments are a fun b side, with some amazing splash action.
HOLY MOLY FISK.
Do you guys remember the door scene in DD Season 1? One of this moments in this book is like that. Just switch the words "embarrased me" to "you messed up my mind".
An action-packed issue with quite the cliffhanger.
The plot barrels along like a train without brakes. The art keeps up with top-shelf visuals, including some insanely detailed action scenes.
But somehow this isn't really engaging with me. It could be that the story's gotten too big and too distant from the characters. This issue features some solid attempts -- Fisk is intense, Jessica Jones gets some key beats, and Mike Murdock is heartbreaking -- that subjectively fail to hold me.
Despite the efforts invested in making this epic, I'm kinda watching the clock, waiting for the inevitable reset button and the few token consequences.
Of course it doesn't help that not only did Daredevil WWF #3 spoil the final twist last week, Elektra even called the double-s more
It was pretty good for the most part. Can't really knock it too much. Had a good ending.
It honestly wasnt bad. Lets see what happens in the final issue.
Art: 4/5
Story: 3.5/5
Total: 7.5/10
It's fine as an issue but the motions are a bit mechanic. The art is amazing.
started getting on track after some boring issues. the last panels were great.
Everything in comic except DD senseless lecture of heroes not killing villain.
